To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANCIS E. lVIAROUM, a citizen of the United States, resident at El Dorado, in the county of Butler and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Medicines; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which to it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a medical compound for the treatment of rattlesnake-bites, sprains, cuts, burns, pains, and the like; and it consists of the following ingredients, combined in the following proportions stated, viz: oil of turpentine, 28.34 cubic centimeters, or one ouncefdilbf cedar, 28.34 cubic centimeters, or one ounce; oil of Sassafras, 56.68 cubic centimeters, or two ounces; tincture ofquassia, 56.68

cubic centimeters, or two ounces; gumcam- 321952534: cubic centimeters, or one ounce;

tincture of capsicum, 56.68 cubic centimeters,

or two ounces; sulphuric ether, 56.68 cubic centimeters, or two ounces; aqua ammonia, 85.02

2 5 cubic centimeters, or three ounces; chloroform,

56.68 cubic centimeters,ortwo ounces; alcohol, 2.26 liters, or one-half gallon.

This medicine is to be used as follows: For

frozen limbs, burning feet, cuts, sprains, backache, hurts, sores, corns, and bunions, bathe the affected parts freely with the compound. For neuralgia and rheumatism, apply externally with hot cloths, first bathing the affected parts freely. For piles, use externally in warm water. For headache, bathe the head freely. For diphtheria, bind the neck with cloths saturated with the medicine. For burns, apply the medicine as soon as possible and bind on linen cloths.

This medicine has cured numerous cases of bites from rattlesnakes by applying it externally.

The herein described medical compound, consisting of oil of turpentine, oil of cedar, oil of sassafras, tincture of quassia, gum-cam phor, sulphuric ether, aqua-ammonia, chloroform, and alcohol, in the proportions specified.
